Acrylic on wood panel, 20 × 30 x 4 cm
Framed size: 22 × 32 x 7 cm
This richly layered acrylic painting is created on a sturdy handcrafted wood panel and finished with three coats of gloss medium to bring out the depth of colour and texture. It’s presented in a hand-sanded meranti float frame, waxed to a soft sheen that complements the work without overpowering it. The final surface is gently taken back with beeswax to a beautiful satin finish that catches the light just right.
Wired and ready to hang straight out of the box.
Goodbye Lot 20 is a series of still-life paintings I created in mid-2025 as we packed a large studio and home to move after 14 years. I painted the flora of our garden and paddocks partly as a sanity exercise and a break from the packing boxes. The vessels used were either heirlooms or had been used in student exercises during my art classes in the shed.

I have used this white vase in many still life paintings and was featured in several student lessons. It is so modest and was bought in Ikea. Growing citrus was a dream which was thwarted for many years. I just couldn’t get citrus to grow. during the final 3 years of living in Cedar Creek I manage to grow and harvest fruit form limes and lemons. The blossom just before we moved was gorgeous so I painted a sprig.
